Is it true that the moon can make you drunk? Look around you. We’re standing before Drunken Moon Lake, a place where legend whispers just as loudly as the wind rustling through the trees. Drunken Moon Lake actually got its name not from some celestial influence, but from a rowing competition held by National Taiwan University (NTU) students back in 1973. The lake itself has quite a practical past. Originally called Niu Nan Pond, it was part of the Liugongjun irrigation system. But over time, Drunken Moon Lake transformed into a scenic centerpiece of the NTU campus. The arched bridge, the tranquil pavilion dividing the water – they all add to the picturesque charm. Now, about that moonlit magic. Legend has it, a heartbroken woman, rejected by her lover, drowned herself in this very lake. Some say her spirit still lingers, seeking solace among the birds on the pavilion. Don’t worry, though. We can admire Drunken Moon Lake from a safe distance, appreciating its beauty and the stories woven into its existence.
